Caleruega - Philippines

October 27, 2009

 CALERUEGA - PHILIPPINES

Brgy. Kaylaway, Batulao, Nasugbu, Batangas

October 24, 2009

 

Caleruega is a house of prayer and renewal but it is open for youth camps as well. 

My wife and I explored it. It was a beautiful serene place with lots of flower and fauna. Being in highland, it was cold at noontime.

The entrance per head is Php 30.00 including your parking space. 

 There is a campsite ot enjoy outdoor and the night. Per person is Php 250 but bring your own tent and food.

Their contact number is 0921 270 9890 or website www.caleruega-Philippines.ph. I am not paid here but I would just  like  to inform newbie mountaineers or families to experience sleeping in tents under the starry sky and cook your food just beside your tent. 

 I bought my Kovea stove and cookset only the day before we went to Caleruega.

Mt. Batulao Climb October 24 -25, 2009

October 19, 2009

 Updated : Nov. 8, 2009. Picture taken at Caleruega with Mt. Batulao at the background.

Update - 25 October, 2009.

My wife and I were at Filivest entry of SLEX at about 7:35AM and we reached the Caleruega at about 10:25AM. We went first to the Chapel of Calerueaga and took some pictures. I will post some later. We went to the fork road leading ot jump off point to Mt. Batulao and asked the guard about some guides and if there are climbers. After that we went to Calaca to attend the town Fiestas of SMBerks.

We arrived at Calaca about 11:00 PM. Berks Cavite boys were there. Had lunch and a bottle of Red Horse. We had some videoke sessions then we left 12:45PM going back to jump-off point to start our trek at 2PM. Unfortunately my daughter called up due to some emergency and we proceeded home. 

According to my fellow SMBerks, there was a landslide near Camp 10 but still passable. So we are scheduling it on 7 - 8 Nov 2009. Hopefully, there will be no other outdoor activities of SMB or Surfing Real Quezon.
